8.) Atuk (unreleased): This film, which was supposed to star John Belushi as an eskimo who visits New York, is said to be cursed because after Belushi died of drug overdose in 1982 before filming, every person meant to fill the role has died. Sam Kinison was up for the role but died in a car crash while it was in a period of rewrites. John Candy inherited the role in 1994 (twelve years after it was given to John Belushi) but died shortly afterwards by a heart attack. Candy's death opened the film up to Chris Farley, who like his hero, Belushi, also died of a drug overdose before who could officially sign on.
